Hanging On

In the ebb and the flow
Sometimes we are left hanging
For me it's more often than not
I have risked everything
For a trifling like
Love

For those pragmatist
Who say love is an illusion
For those who say
No love if it means pain
Understand this
I hang not for you

For me romantic love
Evolves into mature love
It is just as gentle and breezy
As the summer wind rolling off the sea
And there is nothing to fear
Except missing the chance to love

And yes views
Such as these cause me to
Be lost in the sun set
My face
To feel burn through
To my soul
